Feel the spirit of New Zealand at IMEX America

Take a calming moment on the show floor at IMEX America to reconnect and renew and feel the wairua – the spirit – of New Zealand.

Wellness isn’tsomething you schedule in New Zealand – it'ssomething you feel. Enjoy a refreshing herbal kawakawa tea and take a moment for Kōrero and Kai (a chat and a snack) to discuss the opportunities and support available to bring your next event to New Zealand.

Tourism New Zealand’s Business Events team will be showcasing the country’s beautiful landscapes, inspiring activities, Māori culture and welcoming people on the 100% Pure New Zealand booth (F1131), alongside 13 New Zealand event partners including new world-class convention centers, big brand hotels, unique event experiences and creative destination management companies.

Tourism New Zealand Global Manager Business Events and Event Partnerships, Penelope Ryan says: “North American event planners are showing increasing interest in the incentive and conference opportunities in New Zealand. With a similar direct flight time as the US to Europe, New Zealand offers a well-connected, safe, and welcoming destination, and great value for money due to the current exchange rate.

“The recent launch of the MICHELIN Guide in New Zealand showcases our high-quality food and beverage offering. Stunning scenery and our unique Māori culture create immersive experiences for programs incorporating elements from wellness to nature. Come and discuss the comprehensive support we offer for business events.”

Following IMEX America in Las Vegas, the Tourism New Zealand Business Events team and partners will also host events in Chicago and Milwaukee to build awareness of New Zealand’s enhanced conference capability amongst association event planners.

Tourism New Zealand’s Business Events team will be joined at IMEX America by trusted event specialists Arinex, Attend NZ, HQ New Zealand, and IDNZ Destination Management. Key event locations will also be represented by the Auckland Convention Bureau, WellingtonNZ and ChristchurchNZ.

Unique experience Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tours will also be on stand, alongside the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC), flagship airline Air New Zealand, and accommodation providers Scenic Hotel Group, Hotel Indigo Auckland, and JW Marriott Auckland.
